Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.
In some parallel world, Prince Zuko would be part of that hunt, but in this one, he died at the tender age of 12 when, still recovering from the Agni Kai against his father, he was attacked and killed in his royal chamber. A month later, Lee arrived at Pohuai Fortress, and three years later, the blue spirit helped the Avatar escape from the same fortress.Series

Summary
“Andrew in drag” by The Magnetic Fields inspired
Zuko runs away to Kyoshi Island, desperate to escape the weight of his past and the expectations that follow him everywhere. He hopes to find some peace—but peace is the last thing he gets. Instead, he stumbles upon Sokka, decked out head-to-toe in Kyoshi Warrior armor, and in the dim light and confusion, mistakes him for Katara.

coats and courting by SyciaraLynx for Julessongs

Summary
Zuko had spent far too much of his summer dealing with an ever increasing worry about a new roommate.
Suki had warned him early enough at least, and had even gone out of her way to set him up with someone to sublet her room while she was gone for the year studying abroad, but it did nothing to quell the constant concern.
Dragons are not known for their ability to adjust easily.
Or: Dragon Zuko gets a new roommate, and totally definitely does not develop a big fat crush on him.

Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

Remember Ember Island by sixtiescosmo

Summary
It's been 5 years since the war ended when Katara arrives in Caldera as the new ambassador of the Southern Water Tribe. Katara and Zuko haven't spent any real time together since his coronation, and neither of them knows how to act around the other.
It would be so easy just to consider themselves friends...if either of them had ever stopped thinking about what happened between them that one night on Ember Island.

Summary
The story takes place five years after the original events of ATLA.
What would happen if Aang breaks out of the iceberg five years later? How would the world look, and more importantly how would the characters change?
21 year old Zuko has been out at sea for the last six years, since his banishment. One day he sees a clear blue light near the South Pole. Naturally he investigates, not in the hopes of regaining his honour. That is something that he lost hope of long ago, instead he does it for the sake of his crew of misfits. Little does he know that the strange blue light is about to rock his fucking world upside down.
Disposition:
* Chapter 1-10 The prisoner
* Chapter 11-28 The chase
* Chapter 29-49 Ba Sing Se
* Chapter 50-60 The guardians
* Chapter 61-70 The fate of the world
(Later chapters are generally longer)Mind the tags! A lot of focus on the spirit world, the avatars and what’s needed to end a 100 year old war. Moreover it's centered around Zuko, Katara, Mai, Ty-Lee and Toph. Aang and Sokka are important, but not main characters.
Please note that this is a WIP, chapters are posted consistently every Saturday.

Summary
Zuko loathes the man up on the Fire Lord's throne. Who burned him and looked down upon him. Whatever happens, he will not end up like him. He refuses to become a mad man, a horrible tyrant that Ozai is, and despises how he had driven his mother away due to paranoia and obsessiveness. Zuko won't become the person his mother feared him to be.
But then... Katara arrives. His precious, lovely soulmate. An enemy of their kingdom, a girl who comes from a dying tribe. Someone who he's willing to burn the world for just as his father had done countless times for Ursa.
He prays for his mother's forgiveness, even if that won't do as much good. They're the same after all.
Zuko's his father's child.

Summary
(Zuko/OC • Slow Burn • Action & Romance • Canon Divergence)
They didn’t speak as the last flicker of the palace vanished from view, the silence heavier than the smoke in the air.
"There’s no turning back now," Zari breathed.
"Good," Zuko answered, eyes fixed on the horizon. "I’m not looking back."
Zari was born the Fire Scion, destined to serve the Fire Nation’s conquest. She watched Prince Zuko’s exile from the stands and spent three long years apart from the boy she could never forget. When he returns a hero, both are forced to play roles they no longer believe in- but the Day of Black Sun changes everything.
Together, they’ll abandon the palace, join the Avatar, and risk everything to end the war.

Summary
What if Katara actually told her friends about Aang kissing her?
Flames curled around the firepit, illuminating everyone's faces, dancing lines across their skin. Silence was in the air, the crackling from the burning embers almost echoed against the house behind them.
Katara was conflicted, glaring into the flames. Not only did the play highlight her in the worst way possible, target all of her insecurities at once, but it also caused the most uncomfortably awkward moment between her and Aang. Said boy now sat across from her, his grey eyes burning into her skin. She pretended not to notice, her gaze permanently glued to the flames.
(My take on The Boy in the Iceberg!)

Summary
Sokka is captured by the Fire Nation just as Ba Sing Se falls. Due to be executed on Fire Lord Ozai’s orders, Zuko steps in and claims Sokka as his war prize, taking him as his First Consort.
It’s not a match made in heaven, but more of a fight to the finish line. Sokka wants to be free and Zuko wants to take down Ozai. Neither of them know if the Avatar lives, but they need to work together if they want to succeed.
There’s just the small matter of both of them having to convince the Fire Nation court that they are lovers, rather than mortal enemies…
